Book Synopsis
Networks of private and public institutions supporting innovation and diffusion of technology, dubbed national systems of innovation by Cantwell (international business, Rutgers U., US) and Molero (applied and industrial economy, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain), participate effectively in economic globalization through specialization, they say. They present 13 papers exploring the role of multinational enterprises in technological innovation and their relationship with these national systems of innovation, focusing on issues of research and development decentralization and diffusion of knowledge across international boundaries in Europe.
